The Athletico Advantage: How Our Enhanced Operational Onboarding Program Helps Clinicians Thrive from Day One
At Athletico Physical Therapy, we know that caring for others starts with being cared for ourselves. And just like we guide our patients through healing and growth, we’re just as intentional about supporting the clinicians who make that care possible.
Whether you’re a new graduate stepping into your first clinic role or an experienced therapist looking for your next meaningful chapter, our Enhanced Operational Onboarding Program is designed to give you the confidence, clarity, and connection you need to thrive—starting on day one.
Because when you feel supported, you do your best work. And when you do your best work, lives change—every single day.
1. Start Strong with Structured Support 💪
Your journey begins with a high-quality, consistent onboarding experience led by both your regional director and clinic manager. From day one, you’ll jump into patient care with hands-on team treatment and real-time support that helps you hit the ground running—with guidance, not guesswork.
2. One-on-One Coaching from Onboarding Specialists ✏️
From day one, you’ll have experienced clinicians by your side. Our onboarding specialists—skilled, seasoned clinicians who know the ropes—will partner with you for your first few weeks. From mastering documentation to understanding clinic culture, they’re your built-in mentor, sounding board, and biggest coach.
3. Thoughtful Caseload Ramp to Prevent Burnout 📈
We’ve all heard the stories—or lived them. Starting strong shouldn’t mean burning out. That’s why our patient visit load ramps up gradually, based on your experience and background. You’ll have time to build your confidence and your skills without being overwhelmed.
4. Year-Round Growth & Learning 💡
Your development doesn’t stop after onboarding—it’s just the beginning. You’ll have access to hands-on workshops, roundtable discussions, and expert-led training throughout your first year. We’re here to invest in you, continuously.
5. A Culture That Feels Like Home 💙
Athletico is more than a workplace. It’s a community. A team. A place where people genuinely care—about the work, about the mission, and most importantly, about you.
We lead with respect, accountability, fun, and teamwork. We celebrate every win, support each other like we support our patients, and bring energy and purpose to each day.
You bring the passion—we’ll bring the people to help you grow.
